Tomorrow is the Feast of the Return of the Body of Bartholomew the Glorious Apostle.

Kontakion in the First Tone

The marvellous return of thine all-holy relics is now for us the cause of a feast bright and joyous, O all-famed Bartholomew, thou Apostle of God the Lord. Paying homage to thy feast, we piously honour thee, the lamp whose light doth never dim; and we worship and magnify Christ our God.

His Feast Day is celebrated on June 11 along with +Barnabus

Kontakion in the Fourth Tone

To the Church thou hast appeared as a great daystar; with thy teachings as thy rays and beams of awesome miracles, thou hast enlightened those praising thee, the Lord's Apostle, O sacred Bartholomew.
